I've just been through three years of lung cancer surgeries and treatments (chemotherapy, etc.). I didn't expect to survive, but I have. I thought about death nearly every day. I made peace with dying. A lot of the people in the chemo clinics were in their last days and headed to hospice.
The one takeaway from the experience was this: Don't waste time. Death will visit you eventually, so prepare yourself. Then spend every other minute living. Work on that bucket list early in your life when you are healthy and can enjoy it.
Peace out.

I sincerely wish you continued success. You are the only person to reply with a serious answer to my question.
I lost my father to lymphoma, so secondhand I know what you have been through.

oh thanks for reminding, need to check up on my death clock The Death Clock - When Am I Going To Die?
Friday, April 5, 2041
ok, so I survive 2038, aim to retire before this as don't want the hassle, sooo either I don't retire and die from the stree of fixing for 3 years, or that when some critical program finally trips up on unix time problem, interesting

I consider myself lucky to not be a character in Game of Thrones. My swordplay sucks. Like really, really bad. I'd last less than half an episode.
Other than that, I don't worry about things that are beyond my control. Like the timing and manner.
Cheers,

When I die, I'd prefer to go like my grandfather did: peacefully in my sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

As I don't think there will be any takers I'll post this a bit early
Strike ? maybe a mad jazz fan ? (7)
A type of strike is a Wildcat (unplanned)
Mad = Wild
Jazz fan = cat

Another good clue as far as I'm concerned - since I once again solved it! It took me around 15 minutes or thereabouts today. I eventually came up with "cool cat" as a jazz fan. From there the solution came pretty quickly.
Good thing I solved it now. The upcoming turkey coma could be a detriment.

Well, I got nothin'.
May be my brain isn't fully functional yet though ...

Speaking of "strike", maybe everyone in the UK has sent their answer in via Royal Mail.

Or a train.
Or possibly a nurse is hand delivering it?

Of course - one of them did mention he was going to be driving all day ( yesterday ) and eating all day today.

Are you feeling any better ?

Generally, yes - but it comes and goes in waves, so I was fine around 09:00 then fell in a pit about 10:00. I'm guessing it'll all be over by tomorrow (or maybe that's "hoping").
I'm certainly way better than yesterday - I'm not in bed sleeping it off for starters!

Meanwhile, outside of the USA, there's still 4755 days until the real Fibonacci day: 1st December '35
(And if you could manage to post a message at precisely 8:13 UTC, that would be even better.)

And in the USA, they have 4433 days until their real Fibonacci day, 01/12/35 8:13:21.
... they have 13149 days until an even better Fibonacci day, 11/23/58 13:21:34.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
